- Hi everyone, let's talk about something everybody loves
to talk about, periods.
(audience laughing)
So this is Ganita.
She's from a nomadic hill tribe in India,
so for her period she uses old cloth,
but due to stigma, she can't dry it out in the open,
so she hides it under her other clothes.
This causes it to be always be dark and dim,
causing her to have recurring infections.
This is Anne-Marie, she works on a sugar cane plantation
in the Philippines, there are no toilets on the field,
and she does not have ample supplies
to get her through a day of work,
so she ends up missing a week of work every month.
For most of us, missing a week of work,
we would still have income.
We would still have food on the table,
but for her, it means no income for that week,
and no food on the table for her family.
This is Prathina, she goes to a boarding school in Nepal.
She uses pads, so, in the boarding school compound,
there're boys, so she's shy to dry out her old cloth.
So her parents who are farmers have an additional expense,
which is pads for her, she has it good though.
Her mother and grandmother were banished to menstrual huts,
at the fringes of their village during their monthly cycles.
This is Annabel, she has extremely heavy flows,
and in order to go about her daily activities
and be productive, go to work, feed her children,
send them to school, she needs to buy pads as well,
but the problem here is the disposal.
So what she does is she puts it in a plastic bag,
and burns it in her backyard.
Her backyard is relatively small,
so she ends up burning it right by her well.
She can't bury it because the dogs in the village dig it up,
and they carry it around, which is very embarrassing.
So this is Sarah, she's from Singapore,
and she enjoys doing marathons and triathlons,
but having her period during these events are a real hassle,
so she ends up popping pills,
which messes up her menstrual cycle
and causes her to have hormonal imbalance.
Apart from the mere hassle is the fact
that she uses 12,000 pads and tampons over her fertile life.
So the problem that we're addressing here is
that 70% of women across the globe have no access
to any form of sanitation.
They use things like leaves, bark, old cloth, and mud.
And the women who do have access
to sanitation will experience leaks, stains, discomfort,
high expenses, and reproduce a ton
of non-biodegradable waste.
So our solution is the Freedom Cup.
A Freedom Cup can be likened to a reusable tampon.
It is folded and inserted into the body.
It opens up, forms a vacuum seal, and is leak-free.
It sits at the base of the cervix
and collects menstrual fluid for 10 to 12 hours.
One cup lasts 10 years on average.
This makes it the best option
for the earth, the wallet, and the body.
For the earth, we would save 12,000 pads and tampons.
For the wallet, we wouldn't have to buy pads
and tampons any more, and for the body,
as our cups are made of medical-grade silicon,
and do not contain artificial fragrances
and synthetic absorbents.
- So, we work on a buy one, give one model,
so for every cup that we sell to a woman like us
who can afford it, we give one for free to a woman
who can't afford it in an under-privileged community.
We have done about 17 projects to date,
in about 7 countries across Asia and Africa.
So we work in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia,
Philippines, India, Nepal, and most recently,
we just came back from Nigeria, and I think some of
the findings that we found is super interesting.
So we find that we're keeping girls in school.
So, 23% of all girls drop out of school
the moment their first periods hit,
which I think is one of the big reasons
for gender inequality across the globe.
And apart from keeping girls in school,
I mean, the problem with periods in the Third World,
is the fact that most rural schools don't have toilets,
as well as the stigma that surrounds it.
On top of that, we find our women are earning more money,
so they earn more money,
'cause they can work the full month,
and by earning more money,
they have a larger say in the running of the household.
They also report lower incidences
of urinary tract and fungal infections,
and we find that there's lower levels
of soil and water contamination.
On top of that, I mean, overall,
women have reported a much higher standard of living.
Beyond that, we're also working with hotels in Singapore
to give us their old soaps, refurbish them into new soaps,
and then we give them out to these women
alongside on our projects.
I would like to appeal to everyone, like here,
all of the communities that we work with,
what we do when we first hit the ground is
that we go and give back to the community.
So we find underprivileged groups,
so whether it's homeless women or people living in slums
or refugee camps, and we go and we distribute the cups
and we study them, we consult them, and we find out
how best to enter the market that way.
So that's the team, Joanne's not here 'cause she's helping
at home with my Mom, but that's Becky and I,
and yeah, we're done, thank you.
